Vice PM Zubko: State control over the use of local resources should be increased

The central government should delegate powers and resources to the local government and at the same time strengthen control over their use.

Vice Prime Minister – Minister of Regional Development, Construction, Housing and Utilities Service Hennadiy Zubko said this in an interview with Ukrinform.

"The state should move in two directions. On the one hand, it should delegate resources, powers and opportunities to the local government, and on the other hand, it should strengthen state control," Zubko said.

He reminded that the central government had already transferred the powers to the local government, so now it should decide how to motivate united territorial communities to develop general plans, improve the territories, fulfil direct obligations.
